#WorldWaterDay2017: 50 families | 1 year | 300,000 litres of water

‘Water so bad, even animals refuse the water’

Gaza’s only source of ground water is contaminated by sewage, chemicals and seawater. It is so bad, that even animals would refuse to drink the water.

Right now, more than 95% of water is unfit for use and this number is predicted to reach 100% by 2020. If it does, the damage would be irreversible.

1.8 million Palestinians in Gaza face severe health risks every day as they consume water polluted with nitrates and chloride. One quarter of all childhood and infant illnesses in Gaza is caused by waterborne diseases.

This is a humanitarian crisis.

24 hours to raise 300,000 litres of water for Gaza

Today on #WorldWaterDay2017, we want to raise £6,000 to help provide clean drinking water to 50 families across Gaza.

With your help, we can provide the families with access to one year’s worth of clean, safe drinking water. That’s the equivalent of 300,000 litres of water.
